Holdback In connection with a Requested Underwritten Offering or an Underwritten Piggyback Offering, upon the request of the Demand Holders participating therein or the managing underwriters of such offering, each holder of Registrable Securities shall, (a) enter into a customary “lock-up” agreement relating to the sale, offering or distribution of Registrable Securities, in the form reasonably requested by the managing underwriters of such Public Offering and (ii) subject to customary exceptions, not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) (a “Sale Transaction”) in each case during, in the case of an initial public offering, the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of such registration statement or, in the case of any other such underwritten offering, the 60-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (each, a “Holdback Period”), except as part of such offering or pursuant to such exceptions as may be agreed by the Demand Holders participating therein and the managing underwriters of such offering; provided, however, that (x) such Holdback Period shall be no longer than that which is applicable to any other Holder and (y) any agreement with the underwriter(s) with respect to a Holdback Period shall provide that the underwriter(s) may not waive the Holdback Period for any other Holder unless it is waived for all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the provisions or restrictions set forth in this Section 8 shall in any way limit Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC or any of its Affiliates from engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their business.

Holdback Amount Escrow Agent shall hold back in escrow from Seller’s net proceeds at Closing an amount equal to Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Holdback Amount”). The sole purpose for which the Holdback Amount may be applied is as to any amounts which Seller owes to Purchaser for post-Closing claims to the extent allowed and subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement. For clarity, the Holdback Amount is intended as a source of payment, but not as a limitation of damages that may be claimed by Purchaser. Except as to any amounts claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser which amounts are specifically reflected in a lawsuit commenced against Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for damages based upon the post-Closing claim, Escrow Agent shall disburse the balance of the Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Prior to institution of any such lawsuit, Purchaser shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller, specifying the exact amount and nature of any such claim asserted by Purchaser against the Holdback Amount. Any lawsuit commenced against Seller must specifically set forth the exact amount which is claimed to be owed by Seller to Purchaser, and absent such specific amount being identified, Escrow Agent is authorized to release the entire Holdback Amount to Seller immediately following the expiration of the twelve month (12) month period post-Closing. Any portion of the Holdback Amount which Escrow Agent is entitled to retain pursuant to this Section 3.10 after the passage of the twelve (12) month period, shall continue to be held in escrow pending final and unappealable dismissal or judgment in the action or actions timely commenced by Purchaser or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser obtains a final and unappealable judgment in any such action, Escrow Agent is directed to make a disbursement to Purchaser from the Holdback Amount retained in escrow in the amount of the judgment plus any interest, attorney’s fees, and costs to which it is entitled thereon upon presentation to Escrow Agent and Seller of the court order or other evidence of such final and unappealable judgment. Once all such actions are either finally or unappealably dismissed or a final and unappealable judgment is entered therein or settled pursuant to a written agreement between Seller and Purchaser, and any amount of damages due to Purchaser is paid, whether from the Holdback Amount or otherwise, Escrow Agent is directed to disburse to Seller any remaining balance of the Holdback Amount. The parties shall execute any additional escrow instructions not inconsistent with the foregoing reasonably required by Escrow Agent or either party relating to the Holdback Amount. Escrow Agent’s fees and costs for holding and disbursing the Holdback Amount shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.

(g) The Escrow Agent shall, in its sole discretion, comply with judgments or orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Amount, including without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment, without any obligation to determine such court's jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If the Escrow Agent complies with any such judgment, order or process, then it shall not be liable to any of the Parties or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless of the final disposition of any such judgment, order or process.
